To secure networks, a protocol suite can be used to encrypt and authenticate all IP packets of a session. Therefore, this report will include the advantages and possible solution of some techniques used to offer increased network security such as scalability and data confidentiality. Captures of traffic sent using the two security techniques, IPSec/VPN and GRE-Tunnel will be monitored. The objective behind this project is to configure a network with these two different tunneling techniques and compare the security and network performance. The report also describes the security problems encountered by networks such as the ignorance of network users, vulnerabilities and the security of the devices. IPSec is a standard security protocol solution for TCP/IP, and it provides security through authentication, encryption and data integrity. GRE encapsulates packets and create a logical hub-and spoke topology of virtual point-to-point connections. The Jperf-tool is used to measure network performance and show specific details while another tool, Wireshark is used to analyze the information captured during transmission of data sent using IPSEC and GRE. The comparison further finds that IPSec-tunnel technique makes data transfers very secure but causes network performance disadvantages in comparison to a GRE solution. 4 1. Introduction Secure access technologies play many vital roles in computer networks around the globe. They are designed to minimize and reduce the risk of losing privacy and valuable information during communication via the Internet. Security is very important in a network. There are many attacks that could harm the network and if proper documentation and planning are not taken into consideration, the network could be easily compromised. Threats to any network arise from both external and internal entities such as unauthorized users (hackers), virus attacks and ignorance of users. For example, a person can leave the computer and expose it to unauthorized users [5]. The terms man-in-the-middle or hacker are sometimes used interchangeably. They make use of sophisticated software to collect data and break the security of a network. The United States FBI sometimes refers to the man-in-the-middle or hacker as criminals because they are involved in various crimes via the internet such as exploitation of valuable information, stealing of documents and accessing databases illegally [5], [14]. Goals The main goal of the GRE and IPSec/VPN tunnel in our report are: Compare the security strength between the two techniques over a specific network (from HQ to BR system). Measure the network performance

  • By Steve Guendert, Ph.D. Long-Distance Extension Networks Between Data Centers
    Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol ver the past decade, extension networks for storage have become commonplace and continue to grow in size and importance. Growth isn’t limited to new Odeployments but also involves the expansion of existing deployments. Requirements for data protection will never Basics for ease, as the economies of many countries depend on successful and continued business operations; thus, laws have been passed mandating data protection. Modern-day dependence on remote data replication (RDR) means there’s little tolerance for lapses that leave data vulnerable to loss. In IBM mainframe environments, reliable and resilient networks—to the point of no frame loss and in-order frame delivery—are necessary for error-free operation, high performance and operational ease. This improves availability, reduces risk and operating expenses and, most important of all, reduces risk of data loss. A previous article, “Storage Networking Business Mainframers Continuity Solutions” (Enterprise Tech Journal, October/ November 2013, available at http://entsys.me/ixond), introduced the various topologies and protocols used for the networks associated with business continuity, disaster recovery and continuous availability (BC/DR/CA). This article focuses in-depth on one of those protocols— Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol (FCIP)—and how it’s used in a mainframe environment to provide By Steve Guendert, Ph.D. long-distance extension networks between data centers.

Two mechanisms are specified, dual stack and configured tunneling. Dual stack implies providing complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and configured tunneling provides a means to carry IPv6 packets over unmodified IPv4 routing infrastructures.

UDP encapsulation has become prevalent network. UDP encapsulation includes the techniques and in data centers, and in fact nearly all the solutions for network protocols to encapsulate networking packets within User virtualization currently being proposed in IETF are based on UDP Datagram Protocol [1]. Packets are contained in the UDP encapsulation. payload, and are said to be encapsulated in UDP packets.

Tiller INSIDE History; Building Blocks of a Standard; Introduction of Function; Understanding the Foundation; Modes of Communication; Protecting and Verifying Data; Managing Connections; Establishing a VPN; Keeping Track; Providing Multi-layered Security Flow INTRODUCTION The Internet has graduated from simple sharing of e-mail to business-crit- ical applications that involve incredible amounts of private information. The need to protect sensitive data over an untrusted medium has led to the creation of virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPN is the combina- tion of tunneling, encryption, authentication, access control, and auditing technologies and services used to transport traffic over the Internet or any network that uses the TCP/IP protocol suite to communicate. This three-part series of articles (see also 87-10-29 and 87-10-32): • introduces the IPSec standard and the RFCs that make up VPN technology • introduces the protocols of the IPSec suite and key management • provides a technical explanation of the IPSec communication tech- nology • discusses implementation considerations and current examples • discusses the future of IPSec VPNs and the industry’s support for growth of the standard HISTORY In 1994, the Internet Architecture PAYOFF IDEA IPSec is an evolving standard to provide encrypt- Board (IAB) issued a report on “Se- ed communications over IP.
